Lay to Kewpie grads: Sorry for ‘commotion’
By NATE CARLISLE of the Tribune’s staff
Former Enron Corp. executive Ken Lay sent an e-mail to his old Hickman High School classmates Wednesday - the same day it was revealed he had been indicted - in which he apologized "for causing so much commotion."
...In the e-mail, Lay wrote: "I apologize for causing so much commotion. It appears that the media continues to be interested in my welfare. They are particularly interested if they think my welfare may not be good.
"To the contrary," the message continues, "Linda and I and our family are doing fine. We strongly believe that our God is stronger than all of the prosecutors, FBI agents, SEC investigators, other attorneys, etc. in the world."
...Near the end of the e-mail, Lay then attempts to direct his former classmates to a New York Times article. But Baird said no link or attachment was included.

Ooops.
Lay provided an interview for a June 27 New York Times article. Lay told the newspaper he took responsibility for Enron’s fall but maintained he did nothing criminal. He said executives in Enron’s finance organization mismanaged the company’s balance sheet and misled him and others.
That old "I'm responsible" meaningless phrase, since he's not actually taking responsibility. Well, he's being forced to now, isn't he?
Yes, the Hickman Kewpies are right here in my home town.
And, once again, I am truly sorry. Ashcroft, Limbaugh, Truman....
....but hey, we also offered Samuel Clemens (better known as Mark Twain), Josephine Baker, Scott Joplin, Charlie Parker, Edwin Hubble, Roy Wilkins, Sacajawea, Dred Scott, T.S. Elliot, Tennessee Williams, Calamity Jane, Langston Hughes, Walter Cronkite, Redd Foxx, Robert Altman, Betty Grable, Dick Gregory, Jean Harlow, John Huston, Dick Van Dyke, Dennis Weaver, Vincent Price, Bill Bradley, Yogi Berra, Casey Stengel, Satchel Paige and Stan Musial. And we have La Belle.
(We gave the world Walt Disney, too, and I'm not sure whether that's on the plus or minus side. Both, I guess.)
